Hmm... I wasn't suggesting that a link had to be absolutely widely prominent... maybe something like a simple tab up top with all the rest of the main navigation options (hell make it the last one, after arcade), the point i was trying to make is that its been around for 6 years, a good amount of ppl have been regulars of it and use it and it is for all intents and purposes an extension of The Next Level itself, for free! It should at least deserve its own link so people who aren't aware of it can check it out.

I remember when I wanted an irc chat room to be created back in 2004 I went on the feedback board and asked you directly and you were cool with it and started one, we even had a dedicated applet and link for easy access so people wouldn't have to muck about with separate clients. What I'm trying to ask is that it was officially sanctioned by you, why the change of mind against it?

Also props to DNG who has been admin of #tnl for a hell of a long time there, and darquebishop for adding some cool functionality to the place (ie, trivia, statistics) and generally holding down the fort.

You're right, why would we give feedback in a section of the forum called "Feedback and Troubleshooting"

Because doing it used to mark the thread as read, which kept it's posts from showing up in the new posts filter.

The board just kinda spazzed out on me. Am I the only one, or was it global?

looks like it wasn't loading the css or javascript files... might be a problem with the url rewriting, I'll look at it

edit: does it continually happen, or was it just a freak occurance?

I'm sure the idea would be scary for a lot of people, but what could be done is making the main link for every thread go to the newest unread post instead of just the first page. Kind of like how I did it for the mobile skin, basically. If people wanted to go to the first post, they could just use the page navigation in the thread, and I'd assume most of the time when people are visiting a thread they most want to see the new posts, not the entire thing from the start.

It lasted for about five minutes. I clicked in different threads and shit, and all of a sudden BAM everything was back to normal.

I support shidoshi's line of thinking.

yeah that's pretty strange

I'll add an exemption rule for the css/javascript directory, just to be safe
